Having done several steering wheels, it is the finger nobbles on the rim that cause the most problems. If a loop of cord is on the 'lobe' of the nobble, when you tension the cord it will try to slip to one side or the other, leaving a gap. If you get the nobbles covered nicely, it pays to apply plenty of varnish to hold the cord in place. I think the thicker cord is more forgiving and covers the nobbles better.
